Oh, the beauty of studying this quarter’s lessons. We will learn so much of the Love of God (and our Saviour, Jesus) which stands out in so many pages of this quarter. Trying to choose just one hymn for the Theme Hymn was almost impossible, but these ones stood out all through the lesson pamphlet from which you may choose:  
Hymn 79 – O Love Of God, Hymn 349 – God Is Love and then in seeing God’s amazing love we can 
Hymn 600 – Hold Fast and 
Hymn 602 – O Brother, Be Faithful.

Sunday encourages us to have faith so we can go forward with God’s amazing Word, showing that
Faith Is The Victory – Hymn 608 all because 
I Do Believe – Hymn 486 and 
I Know Whom I Have Believed – Hymn 511. 

To learn unknown hymns, you will find the accompaniment music for each one at: https://sdahymnals.com/Hymnal/

Another great resource is for when there is a hymn you wish to sing but can’t find it in your hymnal. Go to https://www.sdahymnal.org/Search and in the search bar type a special word in that is in the hymn. I am sure you will be amazed at the help you will be given.

 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV – “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

Daily Lesson for Monday 31st of August 2026

John Huss, the great reformer of the old Bohemia, once said about Jesus, “He is Master of the world, and we are contemptible mortals—yet He suffered! Why, then, should we not suffer also, particularly when suffering is for us a purification?”—Ellen G. White, The Great Controversy, p. 105.

The apostle Paul manifested centuries earlier the same willingness to suffer for Christ. He knew that he was nothing more than a fragile pot made of clay (2 Corinthians 4:7). He constantly felt hard-pressed, perplexed, persecuted, and struck down, and yet he was not crushed, in despair, forsaken, or destroyed (2 Corinthians 4:8-9). He was willing to carry “in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus” would be manifested in him (2 Corinthians 4:10-11, ESV).

By “death of Jesus,” Paul probably meant the sufferings that he mentioned in the previous verses. In turn, in an immediate sense, the phrase “life of Jesus” likely refers to the deliverances from death or the spiritual power for the present life. But, ultimately, this is a reference to the resurrection (2 Corinthians 4:12).

Interestingly, the phrase “death and life” occurs three times in 2 Corinthians 4:10-12. This is a reminder that, in the present age, life is mingled with death. However, in the future glory, we will experience life in the absence of death (Revelation 20:14, Revelation 21:4).

Most important, 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 shows that the gospel is preached through fragile human beings so that the glory goes to God alone (2 Corinthians 4:15). Not infrequently, missionaries suffer in the course of their missionary work. However, our affliction here is light and momentary when compared to that eternal weight of glory waiting for us (2 Corinthians 4:17). The believer lives by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 4:18, 2 Corinthians 5:7).

This hope in the future life captured the mind of Paul so much that he keeps talking about it in the flow of the passage (2 Corinthians 5:1-10). He refers to his mortal body by the metaphor of an earthly house. Conversely, the “building from God” is a metaphor for the resurrected body (2 Corinthians 5:1), the great hope for believers of all ages.
